Sell your junk cars for the highest value with 1800 Salvage
One person’s junk is another’s treasure. In this case, quite literally. A battered junk car is utterly useless to most, but to the experts at 1800 Salvage, it’s an opportunity. More importantly, it’s an opportunity we’ll pay you top dollar for.
1800 Salvage offers highly-competitive prices for all junk cars and vehicles. You’ll be paid instantly, and our free junk car removal service will pick up your car within 24 hours.
As leading Australian salvage car buyers, we’re not worried about the state of the car. Whether you’re a private seller getting rid of your second-hand starter car, or a panel beater or insurance assessor with a totally wrecked write-off, we’ll buy it.
Once your junk car is in our hands, we’ll take it apart and salvage as much as possible. Components and materials will be recycled, upcycled or restored to minimise how much gets sent to a landfill. The way we see it, that’s a win for you, for us, and for our environment.
Our simple junk car removal process
Our quick and easy process makes selling a junk car for cash a breeze. We do everything digitally, from our initial car inspection to your payment. All you need to do is send us a few pictures and digitally sign a document or two, and you’re done.
- No price ceiling for the amount of cash we'll pay for your car
- Free towing from your residence or business
- We offer car removals for all makes, models, ages and conditions.
Cash for cars of all conditions
Free car removal services for junk cars
Junk cars aren’t exactly the easiest to store. Space is money at a panel beater or mechanic’s garage; it can’t afford to be wasted on a junk car that can’t be driven or repaired. Space is even more precious in private residences, where junk cars sit in gardens or take up curb space.
1800 Salvage offers a free tow truck service to remove your junk car. We’ve also partnered with a leading car removal company to be able to provide same-day car removals. Our free car removal will make your life easier.
Get paid instant cash for any junk vehicles you want removed
Thanks to our incredible towing partners, we can remove more than just cars. 1800 Salvage can remove motorcycles, ATVs, ride-on mowers, vans and light trucks. We can even remove light machinery such as forklifts and scissor lifts. If you’re looking for more than just cash for cars, but for other vehicles, choose 1800 Salvage.
Whatever type of vehicle you have to sell, 1800 Salvage can buy it and remove it. Contact our team to chat about logistics.
